The association of angiopoietin-like peptide 4 levels with obesity and hepatosteatosis in adolescents.

CONCLUSIONS: We found that the levels of ANGPTL-4 increases in obesity in adolescents. However, our results make it difficult to establish a relationship between hepatosteatosis and ANGPTL-4. Targeting ANGPTL-4 may be beneficial for the pathogenesis and associated complications of obesity. PMID: 31419758 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
